Some of the best nonfiction writingallows us to see something we thought we knew wellin an entirely new way. This has been the power of my friend, jack davis career, as an environmental, historian who examines the past not through the side glasses of sailors but through the curve of the land, the running of the tide and the rush of the wind and rain. This is also the power of jacks new book were here to celebrate, the gulf the making of an american city. The clear light of nature, tells a truer story, than the cloudy minds of men. Nature decorates in his introduction has been and i quote participants at the sis and catalyst. The riches that made nations wealthy and powerful and overreached their armies fought, it was the wildness our ancestors insisted on taming, discourage that left them despairing and the blessing that kept them alive.
